Is NWBO obliged to adhere to this 12 month stricture

yes they are, but they can request an extension which will almost certainly will be denied (IMO) given the reason for the delay (pending publication).

The Director of the NIH may extend the deadline for submission of results information for an ACT if the responsible party submits a written request that demonstrates good cause for the extension and provides an estimated date on which the results information will be submitted. The Director will review and notify the responsible party as to whether the requested extension of the deadline for submitting results information demonstrates good cause and has been granted. Before this notification is issued, the processing of such requests by NIH does not mean that the NIH Director has determined the request demonstrates good cause. In general, pending publication would not be considered good cause for an extension.

but the request for an extension by itself will also delay the requirement to submit results by 6-8 weeks.
